Yes, mages should be able to spend 2 mana to increase their spell's Zap roll by 1.

Yes, mages should be able to spend 3 mana to increase their spell's Zap roll by 1.

Yes, mages should be able to spend 3 mana to increase their spell's Zap roll by 1, but doing this provokes a Luck roll: on a roll of 2 or less, the spell loses one Awk.

No, this is a very bad idea.

No, this is a somewhat bad idea, I have my own ideas. (Post in thread).

[Beirus]

((Yeah, but I had 2 Awk and had 2 drinks. So where did the extra -1 come from?))

[FallacyofUrist]

((It's a result of casting multiple spells in a turn.))

[Beirus]

((Ah, ok. Might want to put that in the Rules spoiler so folks are aware of it.))

Hack Mage to pieces with the sword.

[FallacyofUrist]

((Done. Also, do you think I should just start the game after Sample Round 2 or wait until I have 12 players then do my random selections from those?))

[FallacyofUrist]

((Bumpify, Nav?))

[NAV]

Summon up another beard flail and dual beard flail Drake trying to knock the sword out of his hands. Try to hide behind Oric when Drake attacks me.

[FallacyofUrist]

Sample Turn Seven: NPC Spotlight

INIT:
Drake(4+2=6)
Mage(3)
Ecco(2+2=4)
Cain(4+1=5)
Oric(1)

Drake pulls his sword from hammerspace and charges Mage! Will:(2) Agh, no.

Cain fires his Crosshatch.

Zap(2+4=6)
Awk(1+1=2)

Power is Cain's thing, but controlling his spells... not so much. (random target: (4: Cain)) Cain is hammered by his own Crosshatch!

(1+1=2vs.6+3) Cain just stands there and looks awesome as magic blows through his hair. He looks stylish.

Ecco casts Random Music Magic: target Cain!

Zap(5+3=8)
Awk(1+2=3)
Luck(2)

Something shifts. (2 or 3 will trigger a negative event this turn.)

(3+1)Mage casts... agh.

Oric laughs at Cain, then fires off another Awesome Palm Beam.

Zap(6+6 not again!)
Awk(1+3=4)

A MASSIVE beam of Awesome fires from Oric's palm (5+3 massive size vs. 3+1=4)

Cain is hit. (5+3(size)+2(high hit roll) vs. 6+3=9) Cain surprisingly minimizes the damage, still being flung back a bit, landing prone.

Random Event(2)... a door appears on the arena's edge. It then is broken down, as a SWAT team spills onto the arena. They look confused.

Sword Luck(1) Drake notices that his arms are turning to emerald. And he can't seem to drop the sword...

[FallacyofUrist]

There we go. Post ya actions.

[conein]

I think after this you can start the game. No one is joining.

[FallacyofUrist]

Pretty much. Though I still need Nav and Beirus' actions for now.

[Beirus]

((I thought the sword gave +2. Also, I saw you edit in that Will roll over my attack. Da fuq?))

[FallacyofUrist]

((I thought the sword gave +2. Also, I saw you edit in that Will roll over my attack. Da fuq?))

((+2 to Stronga, not will. And I forgot about your stunning until after I made your attack. Same for mage.))

[Unraveller]

Well I'm ready to show of the luster of muscle, and eight is a fine enough number for a small tourney. Maybe not elimination, round robin perhaps?

[FallacyofUrist]

Round robin? I have no knowledge of that format.

[Unraveller]

To use a video game called Monster Rancher as an example

Spoiler: Like So (click to show/hide)

Each contestant will face off against every other one. The contestant with the most victories wins the tourney, ties must be broken. Not sure if this is a good explanation, it might be better to look it up. This would also lead to a rather large amount of matches compared to simple elimination brackets.
